If you wanted to say 2. correctly, you would say 'It's time to get working!'

In this instance, the difference is that 'Let's get down to business' can mean, 'let's start working,' or it can mean 'let's get down to the serious point of the conversation.'

'It's time to get working!' means only that.
Hi, MissMisa.
I see.
There are sentences you don’t say, even if those are grammatically correct.
Thanks!!


Hello, I may not understand English very well and I may lack words but I will try to understand you.

If you have questions about my post or Japanese customs, don't hesitate to ask.
